Sunking Font Family is a contemporary sans serif typeface, elegantly capturing the spirit of the historic Romain du Roi without aiming to be a revival. The original Romain du Roi, commissioned by Louis XIV in 1692, was designed to serve the prestigious Imprimerie Royale (Royal Printing Office) in Paris. This new typeface, named in homage to the SunKing himself, endeavors to infuse the essence of the Romain du Roi with a modern, variable twist.
Much like the original masterpiece, SunKing was meticulously and scientifically constructed. Ian Party, drawing profound inspiration from the Romain du Roi, developed SunKing on a variable font grid system. This approach ensures unparalleled consistency, flow, and precision across the entire character set, maintaining the structural integrity that defined its historical predecessor.
Le Romain du Roi’s legacy served as an incredible muse for Ian Party. Utilizing surviving specimens of this classic typeface, he crafted a modern interpretation that respects its historical roots while introducing contemporary sensibilities. SunKing, with its harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, stands as a testament to the timeless beauty and enduring influence of the Romain du Roi, capturing its spirit without being a mere revival.
